Staff Summary: This contract provides for a peer review of the plans and specifications for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion Project which is currently estimated to cost upwards of $19 million dollars.

Staff Summary: Based on a video survey in November 2006, Well #24 has failed due to corrosion. This well is over 30 years old and was given to the City with the development of the Riverview Estates Subdivision. As a result of the failure, Well 24 must be re-drilled as it is critical during peak summer flow conditions. In order to have a producing well for the next irrigation season a new well must be installed and re-equipped. This process usually takes 18 to 24 months if we were to follow the normal bidding process. We are requesting that this contract be declared an emergency due to timing for implementing replacement by the next irrigation season.
